Unlocking Ice Sheet Histories with Magnetic Stratigraphy
A lecture by Brendan Reilly, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University
Friday, November 14, 2025 12 pm
Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 Pioneered as a revolutionary dating tool for Earth science in the mid-1960s, magnetic stratigraphy uses the record of Earth’s magnetic field preserved in sediments and rocks as a natural timeline of geologic events. Today, superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers are used to reconstruct both the strength and direction of Earth’s past magnetic field. These sensitive instruments can rapidly measure even the weak magnetization of deep-sea sediments, which typically contain only trace amounts of magnetic minerals. Here, I’ll explore the frontiers of magnetic stratigraphy in the study of sediments deposited offshore Greenland and Antarctica. These archives also record ice sheet dynamics and oceanographic changes back to and through the ice ages. Because these sediments are often difficult to date with traditional radiometric methods, magnetic stratigraphy offers new opportunities to explore geologic examples of the factors that contribute to the stability and instability of ice sheets. To learn more about one of our recent interdisciplinary expeditions to learn about Greenland’s glacial history, check out this short documentary.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

The Richness of Perception: Dynamic Visual Representations From Static Images
A lecture by Kimberly Wong, Williams College
Thursday, November 20, 2025 4 pm
Preston Theater What is the purpose of visual perception? The most common explanations suggest that seeing is for answering the question "What's out there?," giving us information about the features and objects in the current local environment. This talk, in contrast, suggests a different approach: seeing is also for answering the question "What's happening?" and the related questions "What just happened?" and "What's about to happen?" The critical difference is that while the more common answer seems implicitly static, these newer answers are intrinsically dynamic. Collectively, this work demonstrates that perception forms rich dynamic representations even of static scenes: we see what matters: visual representations of a scene's deep underlying structure, its inferred past, and its likely future.Sponsored by: Psychology Program.

Brody Lab - Hegeman 107 The development of optomechanical systems, in which the motion of a massive object is controlled and measured using light, has revolutionized the detection of tiny forces over the past few decades. As such technologies reach, and even surpass, quantum measurement limits, they can enable new searches for extremely weakly coupled phenomena including gravitational waves, dark matter, and sterile neutrinos.
As a demonstration of these techniques, I will describe an initial search for dark matter using an optically levitated nanogram mass sensor, which can exceed the sensitivity of even large underground detectors for certain classes of dark matter in just a few days of operation. If a signal were detected, such sensors may be able to correlate its direction with earth’s motion through the galaxy, allowing definitive confirmation that such a signal arose from dark matter. In addition, I will discuss future applications of such sensors to neutrino physics in a table-top scale experiment. Results from a recent proof-of-principle measurement demonstrate that the force imparted by a single nuclear decay occurring within an optically levitated, dust-sized particle can be detected.
